No.

Such restrictions are typically neither fair nor effective.  It is
quite difficult to prevent a determined and mildly skilled user from
posting without moderation, but your list must be receiving about 500
posts per day.  So moderation doesn't sound like a very attractive
alternative.  But if you don't have moderation, the determined and
skilled will be able to post freely, while others are effectively
suppressed.

Perhaps it would be possible to set up additional lists and split the
traffic?

If that doesn't appeal to you, we need to know more about your
requirements.
